And, as a fur ther testimony'ot the high esteem which the Court entertains of your very meritorious services, I pre-, sent to you this Sword. " Sir,—ln the present situation of public affairs, it is highly gratifying.to a Briton to perceive,..that. the superiority of British courage and discipline, under the guidance of-able and experienced Com manders, has been glorioutly displayed in almost every region of the habitable globe. Egypt . wit nessed it under the ins aortal .ABEROROMBIE ; India lhas.recently experienced it under. the condrd of a , and since . the atition on the Plains of Maids, the descendants of those who, led by the Cresars, • Once made a conquest of this Island, will be ready to confess. that nothing can withstand the courage .'ins4 discipline of British Soldiers, • When Under the direEtion of a consummate General." He then addressed Sir HOME POr'HANt' as follows: " Sir HOME POPHAM, I give you joy; and in the name of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Consmon , Council, assembled, return you thanks - for your gal , lant condat and important services in the capture of Buenos Ayres, at once opening a new seurceof commerce to the Manalnetories at Greta Britain, and depriving her Enemy of one of the richest and most extensive Colonies in her possession. And, by. an unanimous Resolution of the said Court, I present yuu with a Sword, as a testimony of the 'high esteem which it entertains of yotir very meritorious . conduct.. " Sir, when the news arrived of your achieve snent in South America, it was received by the station with an extacy of joy : the artificer saw an increase of demand for the produdien of his inge nuity ; the merchant began to extend his commer cial views; and every philanthropist most rapturous ly exclaimed With' the Poet—.. Oh, stretch thy reign, fair peace, from shore to shore, till conquest cease and slavery by no more;. • Till the proud Indians, in their native groves, Reap their awn fruits and woo their sable loves. once more a race of Kings bdtold, Another Rodeo adorn'd with gold. " Such, Sir, were the delightful visions in which the nation indulged, the result of 3 plan suggested by the wisdom of that great Statesman, whose, loss we deeply feel, and Whose death we still deplore, aid carried into effe6t by the prowess of yourself and yOur gallant associates its arms. The scene, it must be confessed, is now most lianientably changed; yet though the nation has looked in vain for that extension of commerce, and that diffusion of British civilization, in the hopezof which 'she-bad so fondly indulged herself, she Wl* ever regard the capture of Buenos Ayres, both liotn the ability with which it was planned, and from the , energy and intrepidity with which it was etfeitted, as enaction worthy.of being recorded in the brightest page . of'ber history:" - "C • o , r LENusi—You have given ample proofs of yoiti zeal in the cause of your country, and of your abilities to render it the most essential services ; the same- cause has still further claims upon your exer 'tious ; the foe with whom we have to contend has declared. his determination to deprive us of ear most viriu rule rights, and to sink, us below the level of an independent nation - - -Bat I trust nth threats are v;iin ; -you, Gentlemen, are tensible that when a nationbas, lost her honour she has little else worth tires vvill.convince.our inveterate.

The following Address, relative to the perpetual separation of all the children received' into the Hos pital, from their purent; was, by the unanimous de sire ofa number of adult foundlings, most respeol fully and submissively presented :•-. • . " HoNoonan. GOVERZiottS and GVAIIVIAN§-;-. It is with the utmost deference, that we approach you, for the purpose of entreating your benevolent_ attention to the forlorn and friendless condition of the children in genet - al . when out of Hospital, and to the, peculiar ditliculth and disadvantages which many Of them stiffer, sotite bccasionally; and others through life, in consequence oh' the annihilation of their relation Ship with their parents, which en sues, according to the ctistorn of the institution, itn - mediately on their adrnision into' the Hospital, and through which the foundlings are bereft of every be nefit and comfort arising - from parental solicittidii and: , family connexion. "That the numerous thfiints, from time to time received into the Hospitcd., : lhould, One and all; be • doomed to exist in an orphan state; while their parents are olive, and perhaps not far distant from thern, is a circumstanee which, to every virtuous and feeling mind, must appear as melancholy as it is -.extraordinary, and more e,pecially„ when it is :.considered, what a scene of danger the `world pre sents to the rising generation, and how - Common it is for youth of both sexes, even when they have the best human proteetion, to be ensnared, and vitiated its theit 'principles, ntid ruined for life in their pros pe4ts. Therefore for young persons to be launched Jute the vicicsitudeit cif life, without even a know ledge of their relations, near or distant, and, con sequently, without being the objects of any one's personal oversight or regard, is a very affliaing situation, even when the dispensations of Provi dence have rendered it unavoidable,--but still more . it - wthati lialfe alTorcteu S'alitt:iai or, ve Datixilicr c" off (rout 111 sight via perionat know, ledge of eacknher, Irmtkal returns to lOW and duty are impossibißies. 'The mothers may have intervals of serious relleelien,lindonder these salutary impter. , amens, they may •he earntvtly desiroas of making ,every restitution in their power. But, 'unfortunate-- IY, exclUded as they are, these relenting's' • in their minds are as unavailing with resped n' us, as etc the wdrkings of filial sensibility in our bosoms, with regard to them. Separated from each other for v. long a series of years, in the first instance, however desirous time parents may afterstrards be, of seeing and serving their children, it could dot but in few instances be accomplished, as the situations of most foundlings are Unknown at the Hospital after the expiration of their apprenticeships. If a ternalc, she may be wandering upon the town, a common prostitute, as some we, know of now are if .a male, he May be friendless, and struggling with sickne:s and want. The instances of this kind which we have known, are calculated to. make sotue impres sions upon the most obdurate parents, who have consigned- their children- to the Hospital, without sufficiently considering that its care of them was, only lbr a limited . term ; and that then they would be turned upon the world friendless and forsaken. and left midi the , chances of their unfortMailte con dition ; andilts it is said to be at all times an error of the mind to imagine, that any real or lasting good can or -will -result . from a diet infringement of the laws and precepts which God has given to man ; so it will not be supposed, that a. mainte nance for a short term of years only, is to all the children an equivalent for the entire loss of parents and relations, duriog.'t at it who) V4l. ‘uoula, perhaps, appear to be so, if the ,advantages of the Hospital were so- peculiarly great, as, to insure to every foundling, of good condud, froiperity throUgh. life. " But even then, the dissolution of the Telatioe ship between the children and their' p.treuts wonld he unnatural and sinful 'iii its consequences, for it is only by a . personal knowledge of each other that near relations are enabled to avoid incestuous Mat . :- . riages—and the foundlings rind their parents not knowing each other, either by names or Onions, 'it is possible for them, after a lapse of 21 years, to fall into a grievous sin without'. knowing it ;—a father may chance to marry his own daughter, a mother her son, and a brother his sister, ke. - 'At the same tine, it is probable, that to some parents, particularly to the lathers, an 111514300 n, which affords no clue whereby a deserted crdld , would be able to trace and discover them, may be thought very convenient and desirable : but we are aware that so impious a wish can receive no sanaion from Au establishment supported by. public charity. The motives which induce the mothers to resign their children to the Hospital, while labouring under a pressure of necessitous circumstances, are, we pte sume, partly from a belief that they will be taken more care of by the charity than in the parish work house; and partly to avoid the inconvenienve of an application to the parish. But, notwithstanding, we trust many of them would be of great service to their children, were they indulged with an ,occasional access to them, during their residence hi the Hos pital, although they might never be able to under take their entire maintenance and education ; that being a eircurnstaute not at all to be expetted.e.- We are confirmed in our opinion of the benefit the children might receive from occasional interviews with their mothers, by several instanceS vihich have occurred of mothers accidentally discovering their own children, while in the Hospital, and being afterwards of considerable service to them ;' and depraved indeed mnst be the mind and heart of that mother whoAvould not avail herself of theopportu nity, when she might have the liberty of seeing, and the Means of serving, her own child." " HONOURED GOVERNORS and Gemintiss-i-- , Permit us to assure you, that we have not httstily nor inconsiderately resolved upon this application to you ; on the contrary, we have repeatedly deli berated upon it, and. paid the utmost attention' to so, to be placed in this solitary situation, contrary tothe will of God, and the express duty of parents. Nevertheless, if we ourselves, and All the children received into the Hospital,, were found exposed and deserted, as the term " foundling" implies ; if our parents had never been seen ; .if no communicating had been held with .our mothers ; we in that case 'c ou ld not impute the entire loss of our parents ,to Any other causes than their own 'negligence and in humanity knoWing that the mother of every infant redeived into the Hospitni is obliged, to bring her petition, and to amen in the, presence -of the • Conamittee, before ,her child can , he admitted; and that consequently 'it is' in the power t ots 'the Board to insist upon' a toll disclosure of the real name and condition of every parent.; and being also assured, that by the rules or customs of the dimity, every Mother, without exception; is ,denied all access to, and knowledge of, her uwu child, either ,by name or person, after its reception, unless she can take it out and wholly maintain it ; and that each , child is - baptised with b name different to that Which the Mother has 'stated'''Co be hers, which prevents the possibility of her recovering a personal knowledge of her own offspring, except on tie aforesaid Con dition, allowed by the Hospital ; %-% ith these t:tiAs ,in our minds, however we may deplore the conduEt of our fathers, we are sensible it would be doing 'great injustice to our iDotheo; were we to charge them with a. wilfol desertion of us; it being evident, that in general it is the poverty and dot the will 'of the niothera, which =sews to on alternative so evory circu - mstauce connected with the history of the Institution, its origin and design 3' and the pre rtmsons, adduced in support of our earnest appeal to your goodness, we trtut, will have what ever Weight 'belongs to -them upon your minds; and we, depending . upon your indulgence, do hum bly, beseech you to take into your consideration the expediency of granting to the mothers and 'ale children well relaxation of the arrangements ori ginally. instituted •.betweVa them; as iillnur pcig- EMIRS may appear . most J ust and proper, to en able theta to preserve a mutual knowledge of each .
